BBSD: Bunny Burrow Sheriff's Department
He propped his feet up on his desk and reclined in his chair. A fan in the back corner of the room blew on him, though it did little to cool him down, as evidenced by the dark stains under the arms of his beige shirt. Occasionally, the fan would blow a paper off of the bulletin board on the back wall and he would pin it back up only to have it blown down again. He cursed at it and left it in the floor to be trampled on. He looked into a mirror that hung on his door and admired his red fur. He was Bunny Burrow's first fox sheriff and he was proud of it. He admired not only his fur, but his uniform as well. There was something about an over-starched beige shirt, a golden star badge, and dark green slacks with a gold pin-stripe that gave this fox a sense of pride. He also enjoyed the Colt 45 revolver he wore on his hip at all times. He continued to carefully study himself in the mirror until he was interrupted by a female rabbit entering the room.
"Sheriff Wilde, you have a visitor," she said.
"We had the intercom system installed for a reason, Sarah," he said in an annoyed tone.
"My apologies sir, I'll use it from now and on."
"Yeah, yeah. Who's the visitor?"
"The what?"
"The visitor you came in here to tell me about, who is it?"
"Oh yes! He's all the way from Zootopia!"
"Send him in."
The rabbit left the room and a few moments later a large cape buffalo walked in.
"Sheriff Nick Wilde, I'm Chief Eric Bogo with the Zootopia Police Department," the buffalo said.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance," Nick said while he shook the buffalo's hand.
Nick walked over to the coffee pot in the corner of the room.
"Coffee?" he asked Bogo while he poured himself a cup.
"No thank you," Bogo said.
"Suit yourself," Nick said as he returned to his chair, "So what brings you to the burrows today?"
"I would like to make you an offer," Bogo said.
"I'm listening," the fox said as he crossed his arms.
"Our officer positions are currently filled, therefore we cannot accept any new recruits. Normally, I would just ignore the new graduate files and notify one of them if a position became open. Well, I happened to just thumb through them once and one of these new graduates stood out from the rest because she had immaculate performance a-"
"She?" the fox interrupted.
"Yes the recruit is a female, and she's a rabbit. Her name is Judy Hopps and I have her file."
Bogo pulled out a folder from his briefcase and gave it to Nick. Nick opened it up and studied it carefully for a few moments.
"She was best in her class," Nick said.
"She was and she's there for the taking. I would have her myself if it wasn't for the fact that all of my positions are filled. I figured you would be interested in her and I came to tell you about her."
"You're tellin' me that you came all the way from Zootopia to tell me about a possible new recruit?"
"There is something else," the buffalo sighed.
"What is it?"
"There is some talk on the streets about a new serial killer. The FBI has contacted me personally and told me to come here and tell you the he or she may be heading to the Burrows."
"Why didn't the FBI just call me?"
"They don't really like to converse with the stereotypical small town sheriff. You know the guy's with the big cowboy hats and dial up internet in their office."
"We're nothing like that!" Nick exclaimed, "We have as good of internet as anyone else."
"Sir," Sarah's voice yelled from the other room, "Are you on the phone? I'm having trouble connecting to the internet."
"Not now Sarah!" Nick yelled back.
"Anyway," the buffalo continued, "Would you like to have Ms. Hopps?"
"Yeah, it would be a real honor to have her as a deputy."
"Okay, I'll let recruitment arrange her transfer papers and she should be with you guys in a little under a week."
"Thank you Chief Bogo. I'll be looking forward to her arrival."
Nick shook Bogo's hand one last time before the buffalo departed for the city. Nick listened to the chief's drive away as he propped his feet back on top of his desk and sipped at his coffee. Suddenly, Sarah barged into his office.
"Sir, we just got a call from Mrs. Higgins. So-" she began.
"Intercom, Sarah," Nick interrupted.
Sarah went back to her desk and pressed the intercom button.
"We just got a call from Mrs. Higgins. Someone called Mr. Higgins' cactus 'stupid' and he punched them in the nose, again," she said.
"When old man Higgins going to learn he can't punch someone every time someone calls his plant stupid," Nick said to himself, "Tell them I'll be there in a few minutes," Nick sighed into the intercom.
"Yes sir," Sarah's voice came back.
"Welcome to life of a Bunny Burrow Sheriff," Nick sighed.
Nick grabbed his green cowboy style sheriff's hat and went to his car.
